Career Planning

If you are applying to a master's or PhD program, you should start planning early in your final year. There are fellowships available which will pay a large part of your expenses for graduate school, but you must be aware of guidelines and deadlines. A number of agencies (Actuarial Society of America, StatsCan, Federal Civil service, etc.) have qualifying exams. If you are interested in these you should plan ahead and find the dates and locations for writing.
